S ' OFFICERS ' ' f I JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 'iUijon 'eritering' our Freshman year in high-school, we were the proverbial green Freshies, but during that hectic year of study and social activitr, we 'won many friends and gained much prestige. Our Sophomore year was not quite so satisfying as the previous one--due to the absence off the Class of 42 , but, nevertheless, we succeeded ' in becoming prominent members of old Youngwood High. Although our first two years -within the fwalls of our beloved school have proven successful, this, our Junior Near, has been the real proving .ground for our many talents. The number of our class was greatly increased by the enthusiastic members from New Stanton. At the beginning of the year, our class contrifbuted the most 'prominent footlball players of the team, namely, Henri' Hart, George Blanda, Merle Long, Dave Hepler, Chu-ck Sullivan and Eddy Robertson. Of course, we may be a bit fprejudiced, 'but its quite evident that our class members have proved them- selves worthy of recognition. President .................

They donated our share of football stars--Milton Brdar, James Oravetz, Steve Karas, Georlge Heskey, and many others. Three of their class were members of the fbasket- ball varsity, and these boys, Milton and George Brdar and Jimmie Moore did their share to help Young- wood win the 1944 championship. The team's efficient manager, Bob Morgan, is also an esteemed me-mlber of this class. Will we ever forget Richard Steiner and Grace Overholt as the vparson and his wife in the highly successful Sophomore assembly? And remember Betty Haley as the 'iblushing bride and Frances Cordial as the village beauty. The m-embers of the Sophomore class shofw a fine spirit of co-operation, Many of them are active mem- bers of the High School Band, Glee Cluxb, Tygping Club and Home-Ec Clwb.
